The Frankfort roundabout. [volume] (Frankfort, Ky.) 1882-1908, 1887-05-21

The readers of the Louisville
Times, in this city, were more
than disgusted at all article which
appeared in its issue Of Monday
evening in which a base and
ghoulish assault is made upon the
memory Of President Garfield.
Like the hyena that is too coward
ly to attack live man, it digs into
the grave Of the dead and bowls
with delight at the disgusting feast.
If all that it says were true, how
much better the charity that
would cover the dead with its
mantle Of love.
1t may be and doubtless was
true that CART ED had his weak
nesses. but we utterly fail to COM
prehend the venom that so con-
trolls a man that it follows its
victim even into the grave.
Every one knows that the grand
and noble men on both sides of
the sad struggle of the past, Lee.
Grant, Jackson, Logan, Johnston,
and Mcpherson. had each his Pc
culiar faults, but who but a ghoul
would remember anything now
but the fact that they were the
noble representatives Of American
freemen, who honestly fought for
and advocated what they believed
to be right.
Where is the much Wanted era
Of good feeling and what becomes
of the Times boosted desire to for
get the past with all its bitter
memories? Oh! shame, where is
thy blush?
If the editor was one-half as
good a man as the one he ISLANDERS,
he would hide his head in shame
for his meanness.

The Dawn of a Better Day.

again there is promise of compe
titive markets for the farmer and
cheap rates Of transportation for
the merchant and the manufactur-
err.
The Frankfort, Paris & George
town Railroad is at last in the
hands of its friends, and it is not
unreasonable to predict that, with
fair, just and wise conduct and
management, its success is assured.
Turnpikes, constructed by the
bene6cent liberality Of the citizens
of every precinct. for the better
interchange Of products and the
lifting of the farmer from the
"mire and the clay" stretch their
stony arms into every section Of
Franklin county, and to these is
now, with the consent Of the pop
ular will, to be added a new line Of
commerce, a new avenue Of trade,
a new outlet to the rich. populous
and progressive counties Of Central
Kentucky.
Better still, the contribution of
Franklin county is not to be free
gift. 1t is not to be donation of
stock to a body Of spectators.
Nor is it to await an indefinite re-
turn for solid aid.
Not dollar will be given until
there is something sure as recon-
pense. There is no middle man
to swallow the profits and leave
the county to. ''hold the bag"
But for every dollar given there is
to be railroad complete. and
every county that contributes to
such complete road will not only
own so much of the road as rep
resents its respective contribution,
but will have a representative to
protect its interests and enforce its
rights.
Franklin county now owns the
charter, the plans and profiles, and
the surveys and papers that denote
the powers and property of the
Frankfort, Georgetown & Paris
Railroad. A citizen is its Presi-
dent and citizens are its Directors.
The county that has never voted
a dollar to railroad enterprise in
it's entire history is now asked to
contribute $4,000 in 3o-year
bonds, to build the road-one-half
to be due when the railroad is COM
plete to Georgetown, the balance
when it is complete to Paris. No
road-no bonds. Each county
that makes contribution will be
entitled to Director in the road,
and when complete, the road will
be owned by the counties in pro-
portion to the amount contributed.
The plan is straightforward
business arrangement. There is
no gigantic construction company
to swallow up the bonds, pocket
the profits and own the road when
built. But for every dollar invest
ed there is to be railroad built
and when built the counties and
parties who furnish the money will
own the road.
1t is expected that every man,
woman and child in Franklin
county, who loves its homes and
it's hills, its independence and it's
progress. its industries and its fu-
ture, will contribute heartily and
unitedly to carry the subscription

Refused.

Notwithstanding a unanimous
request by the Board of Trade,
and a unanimous affirmative report
by the Fire Committee, and a
strong request Of taxpayers by
petition, the City Council, by a
vote of five to four, refused to
take the necessary steps to estab-
lish a fire alarm to better protect
the property Of the people OF
Frankfort.
This is to be greatly regretted.
The more so, as the grounds OF
opposition do not lie in any test.
mony to the wishes Of the people.
There is no denial that a majority
of the taxpayers are in favor Of
fire. alarm telegraph. But against
the popular will the judgment Of
the Council is sternly-need we
say harshly-interposed. We are
candid to say there are members
of the Council who are not ag-
gressively hostile to the measure.
Were they convinced that the
people are in earnest about the
matter we feel sure they would
alter their position and give it an
affirmative vote. We ask every
citizen who feels an interest in
having his property surrounded
by the safe guard of a fire alarm
telegraph to so indicate to these
Councilmen.
The expense is triAing. The
benefit certain. The fire alarm is
too important to be suffered to die
at this time. The vote on the
fire alarm telegraph in the City
Council was as follows: Aye
Mangan, Ferguson, J. Tobin and
r. Tobin. No-Taylor, Church.
Watson, Luscher and Posey.
If there is any spot in the
corporate limits Of Frankfort
spot that reports more than halt
the assessed value of all the tax
able property Of the city-that
needs fire alarm telegraph. it is
South Frankfort. This need ex-
plains why the people of the
South Side are solid for the prop
osition.

Lord Nelson, just before the
battle of Trafalgar, used an ex'
preston which has become a pro-
verb, viz: England expects every
man to do his duty" Just so, in
this crisis in the affairs of our city,
we may we'll say "Frankfort ex-
poets every man to do his duty y
and to do his level best in the
great and unspeakably important
work of building the new railroad.
The time for Indifference and
lethargy has passed. The vital
Importance of this work cannot be
too often or too persistently
urged.
People Of Frankfort! Your in
terests are ours. Born and reared
in your midst, your progress and
prosperity are dear to US, and we
are unwilling to sit idly by and see
opportunities slipping out of your
grasp, never to return, and the ad-
vantages, and material wealth
which those advantages bring, and
which are justly yours, diverted
into other and opposing channels.
Why should other towns and
villages feel the effects and reap
the benefits of the boom which is
sweeping all over the new South,
and Frankfort be left out in the
cold? 1t must not, and it shall
not be, if we can aid in arousing
our people to see their interests
and to act accordingly.

EXPOSITION NOTES,


1t was thought that the directors had met
all the demands for space at the exposition, but
they decided yesterday afternoon on putting
up another large building.
The new building will be for tho benefit of
the poultry, pigeon, and pet stock show. 1t was
hoped that this show could be made in tho ag-
ricultural hall, but that is already crowded to
its utmost. The new building will be u hun
bred and fifty feet by two hundred feet. The
present intention is to build il with am open
court in the center which will be decorated
with gravel walks and flowers, for tho display
of poultry in fair weather IL is possible
that this plan will DO changed and lantern
roof put over the open court and lit at the
sides with glass windows.

poultry are coming in daily, and arrangements
viii be made for six thousand coops There
viii be wire ayiaries constructed for the Gagged
birds, pigeons and Daniels, under the Kimball
house, viii enter fifty different varieties Of
Gagged birds. Mr.. Lawson, the famous tobac-
conist, says he viii beat the record ON
Gagged birds. Or. Carpenter, who has several
hundred canaries, will also make an
entry Tho entries of pigeons will
be unusually large, fanciers from
half dozen states having already applied for
space. The poultry and pet stock building
will be one Of the chief attractions at the fair,
and of course there is an opportunity for fine
breeders everywhere that cannot be beaten.
